He wears amulets, WO (TS Nvritteti words of magic In houses Land ,pcirts a tiger's claw as a preventive of disease. If he is specially primitive and hachwoodsy, when he enters a forest he says: "Go to the right, all my enemies and assailants! May_you_not look upon inc; let me walk alone!" To allay a t-torm he says: "The elephants' collect, they wallow across the sea. ' Go to the tight, go to the left, I break the tempest." 'When about to begin an elephant hunt, _ according to Thompson, he uses this charm: "The 'elephant trumpets, he wal- lows across the lake. The pot boils, the pan boils across the point. Go to the left, go to the right, spirit of grandfather (the elephant); 1 loose the fingers upon the bowstring." The Malay believes in witches and witchcraft. There is the bottle ithp, the Poloug, which feeds on its owner's blood till the time comes for it. to take Posses - ion of an enemy.. Then there is a horrid thing, the Ponangalan, which possesses women. Frequently it leaves its rightful abode to fly away at night to feed on blood, taking the form of the .head and intestines of the person it inhabited, in which shape it wanders around. Such beliefs may perhaps have theis .origin in Metempsychosis, which lin other sways has some foothold araong the cons - Men people. For instance, .1eihtfntsand tigers ore believed sometimes tq be hu- man souls in disguise, and so th� Malay addresses them as "grandfather" to allay their wrath and avoid direct refe enceeto them. Crocodiles also are often regarded as sacred, and special charms re used. in fishing for them. One -such, iven by Maxwell, is as follows: "Oh, Dangsaris lotus flower, receive what I se id thee. If thou receivest it not, may thy eyes be torn out."—It. Clyde Ford in Popular Science Monthly. The Three Greatest. ' The most remarkable paper of the most remarkable year of the moat remarkable century, is undoubtedy the "Family Her- ald and Weekly Star, ' of Montreal. It is said that no less than twenty thousand new subscribers were received by that paper in December. The Family Herald's " suc- cess is pheaomenal and well deserved. Less than two per cent. of their last year's sub. scribers failed to renew before the expiring dates, and these few will, no doubt, again Cjoin the ranks when they find out their loss. iThe publishers are gueranteeing the beanti- ,4ful pictures, " Alma " and "Pussy Wil- ' lows" through this; month, but not guarati- i feeing later, as the supply is fast being ex- hausted, and it is scarcely possible they will be able to get more. —Rev. H. C. Landsky, who has been eleven and a half years pastor of theTvan- gelical Lutheran Congregations at Logan and Mitchell, was married at Port Huron, Michigan, to Miss Bertha Riebling, Decem- ber 27th, 1899.
